OLD TESTAMENT SHADOWS: Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things... Remembering that the things in the Old Testament are only shadows…. Isn't that one of the most important principles we can be mindful of while studying the Bible and in our daily walk!
Could the Bible be summed up in just one verse/ Some say "yes'! The Protevanglium - GOD's Original Mission Statement? "Who Is Worthy To Open The Book, And Loose The Seals Thereof?" Would They Call Your Name? Would They Call Mine? Perhaps The Name Of A Preacher Or An Earthly King Or President? At The End Of The Age The Truth Would Surely Come Out!
We are a group of Christians reaching out to the lonely men and women in prison. Most of the inmates contacting us have already accepted Jesus or they are seeking God. All of them are lonely, discouraged, and rejected; in need of a caring friend.
Jesus has a special place in His heart for hurting people and He calls us to minister to their need. In Mathew 25:35-36, Jesus says “I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.” Then He explains “In as much as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” Please also read Hebrews 13:3, Psalms 107:9-16, Isaiah 42:7, and 2Cor.5:17.
Romans 5:6-8 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
A MISSING PIECE OF THE PUZZLE ? " and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
Very much emphasis is currently placed on knowing God’s proper name. Would it be appropriate that we use this form of address with our Father? When has it ever been proper for sons and daughters to speak to their natural fathers by using their formal names? Is there any culture in which this is acceptable? Is it not considered disrespectful? As sons and daughters, even adult sons and daughters, the address most often used is Father or Dad or variations of those titles. This too, is the example of Jesus who spoke to his Father using the “name” Father, or Abba, dear Father. The beautiful “Our Father” as the beginning to the Lord’s Prayer gives the example for all time of how to address our Father. The three Scriptures which give us this unique word are: 1) Mark 14:36 -When facing the greatest trial anyone could ever face, Jesus used the term Abba Father; 2) We are advised to act as God’s own children, calling him Father, dear Father (Rom. 8:15); and 3) Gal. 4:6 points out that a change has taken place. Only since becoming His children are we able to call God our dear Father. What an astonishing privilege to be the sons and daughters of the Most High God, the Sustainer of all that is, the only uncreated Being in the universe – that He would offer us this invitation to become His true children and invite us to call Him Father. This is truly awesome! There is power in a name. There is very great power in this one!
I am a recent victim of some interesting and revealing encounters on various Christian forum boards. I want to assure everyone that I escaped unharmed, and am recovering nicely. But my experiences left me with some valuable insights as to the spiritual conditions of many who profess to be Christians. I hope you are not among those same spiritual vandals that are currently proving that the latter day's apostasy is upon us.

பேதுரு அவர்களை நோக்கி, “நீங்கள் ஒவ்வொருவரும் உங்கள் இருதயத்தையும் வாழ்க்கையையும் மாற்றி, இயேசு கிறிஸ்துவின் பெயரில் ஞானஸ்நானம் பெற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள். அப்போது தேவன் உங்கள் பாவங்களை மன்னிப்பார். நீங்களும் பரிசுத்த ஆவியின் வரத்தைப் பெறுவீர்கள்.
The devil’s tactic is to make what has already been defeated seem real and more frightening than it really is by pointing you to how you’re feeling in that moment, but God wants you to see your situation through the lens of Jesus’ finished work. He wants you to turn away from your feelings and to begin to look at who he has made you in Christ. That’s how you begin to live a life of victory!
“The reaction of the Israelites to God’s promises was understandably positive, and God approved it. They wanted what God offered them. However, they overestimated their own ability to keep the covenant, and they underestimated God’s standards for them. This twin error is traceable to a failure to appreciate their own sinfulness and God’s holiness. The Mosaic Law would teach them to appreciate both more realistically."
